When planning electrical work in your North London home or business, understanding the cost of hiring an electrician is crucial. At RCD Electrical, we’re proud to offer transparent pricing and top-quality service as NICEIC-certified electricians based in North London. This guide explores typical electrician costs across the UK, with a focus on London, and explains why RCD Electrical is your trusted choice for reliable, affordable electrical solutions.
Typical Electrician Costs in the UK
In the UK, electrician hourly rates typically range from £40 to £100, with an average of £50 to £75 for domestic work. In London, particularly North London areas like Camden, Barnet, and Enfield, rates often sit at the higher end due to increased demand and living costs. At RCD Electrical, our hourly rates start at £60 for standard jobs, ensuring you receive exceptional value whether you need a quick repair or a full rewiring project.
Costs vary depending on the job type. Simple tasks, like fitting a new socket, may take an hour, costing £60–£75, while complex projects, such as rewiring a three-bedroom house, can range from £3,000 to £6,000. Emergency call-outs, often needed outside regular hours, typically cost £80–£150 per hour. RCD Electrical offers 24/7 emergency support starting at £90 per hour, with clear quotes provided upfront.
Factors Affecting Electrician Costs
Several factors influence what you’ll pay:
- Qualifications: NICEIC-certified electricians, like our team at RCD Electrical, charge more for their expertise and adherence to safety standards.
- Job Complexity: Basic repairs are cheaper than installing consumer units or rewiring.
- Timing: After-hours or urgent work incurs higher rates.
- Location: North London’s market drives costs up, but we optimize with local efficiency.
- Materials and Fees: Costs for wiring, fittings, or parking may add up. We include these in our estimates.
At RCD Electrical, we prioritize transparency, offering fixed-price quotes for larger jobs to help you budget effectively.
